US Nuclear Renaissance Finally Starts...? TNC Plans New South Carolina Reactor The Nuclear Co. (TNC), a startup that emerged from stealth in 2024 as America’s full-stack nuclear project integrator, is preparing to propose one of the first large-scale conventional reactor builds in the United States in more than a decade. According to Bloomberg , the company could unveil plans as soon as this week for an AP1000 reactor at one of three potential sites in South Carolina . The move comes as surging electricity demand, fueled largely by AI data centers, forces utilities and developers to confront the limits of today’s grid. TNC showed up with a design-once, build-many methodology and fresh Series A funding in hand as the firm opened its primary engineering and construction office in Columbia, SC, last year. Governor Henry McMaster welcomed the move, which is expected to create more than 100 jobs while supporting a targeted 6-gigawatt fleet rollout . South Carolina already generates over half its electricity from nuclear power, boasts established infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and a state leadership clearly committed to expansion. The timing feels both promising and painfully familiar: -Just days ago we asked whether America sits on the verge of a nuclear renaissance -We have chronicled the historic first federal approval for novel reactor technology -The Washington facility is slated to host 12 Amazon-funded small modular reactors -Nano Nuclear’s construction permit was submitted for its Kronos unit in Illinois -We tracked the steady drumbeat of SMR licensing approvals -President Trump’s executive orders to fast-track small modular reactor development drew widespread applause -We even reported on the national emergency declaration that positioned the U.S. government to purchase 10 large new reactors Yet for all that… Four months later, China has added 9 more reactors and is now building a total of 39 nuclear power plants. Meanwhile the US has added 0 and is still b...
中国癌症过早死亡率在过去三十余年间几乎减半,但要实现联合国可持续发展目标,仍需在当前基础上再提速 在男性中,肺癌、胃癌和食管癌的早死负担最重;在女性中,肺癌、乳腺癌和胃癌位列前三。图:视觉中国 【财新网】 一项由中国疾控中心团队完成的最新研究显示,1990年至2023年,中国癌症相关过早死亡率从13.11%显著下降至6.66%,年均降幅为1.93%。尽管如此,按当前趋势,中国预计要到2035年左右才能实现联合国可持续发展原定于2030年达成的目标。 上述研究成果发表于《柳叶刀-区域健康(西太平洋)》(The Lancet Regional Health - Western Pacific),题为《中国分癌种进展评估:1990—2023年全国过早死亡率分析》(Benchmarking progress in cause-specific cancers in China: a nationwide analysis of premature mortality from 1990 to 2023)。研究由中国疾病预防控制中心沈洪兵院士团队共同完成。该研究基于2023年全球疾病负担研究(GBD)的中国数据,首次在全国、区域及省级层面系统评估了29种癌症的过早死亡率变化趋势,并预测了各省份及癌种实现2030年可持续发展目标的前景。
